In the song God , off Plastic Ono Band, does anyone know what John is referring to when he says he doesn’t believe in Zimmerman? I thought maybe it could be referring to Bob Dylan because that’s his real name, but do any of you know anything about this?

It is indeed Dylan. I think John was calling him out on the whole name change thing, which is kind of hypocritical considering he changed his middle name from Winston to Ono.

I think he just was calling out all the 60’s hippie folks. I think (don’t have the song at the ready) that the previous name was Kennedy, and he needed a long name, so he chose Zimmerman over Dylan.

I thought it was more towards the cult following of Dylan by how young people were following in Dylan's footsteps almost with the anti-war, drugs, folk concept.

Thanks. I guess I should clarify to say 50's/60's hippie folks.

From “Lennon Remembers”:

 

Interviewer: Why did you choose to refer to Dylan as Zimmerman and not as Dylan?

John: Because Dylan is bullshit, Zimmerman is his name.

Yoko: He changed his name.

John: You see, I don't believe in Dylan. I don't believe in Tom Jones either in that way. Zimmerman is his name. My name    isn't John Beatle, it's John Lennon . You know, just like that.

 

(For the record, “Tom Jones” was born “Thomas John Woodward”. Wasn't aware that there was anyone named “John Beatle”.)

GEORGE: In fact, The Detroit Sound. JOHN: In fact, yes. GEORGE: In fact, yeah. Tamla-Motown artists are our favorites. The Miracles. JOHN: We like Marvin Gaye. GEORGE: The Impressions PAUL & GEORGE: Mary Wells. GEORGE: The Exciters. RINGO: Chuck Jackson. JOHN: To name but eighty.

If I seem to act unkind, it's only me, it's not my mind that is confusing things.
